27 Finish the bridal week for this one, and then the other will also be given to you in return for another seven years of service with me.”
28 Jacob did so. He finished the bridal week for the one, and then Laban gave him his daughter Rachel as a wife.
29 Laban assigned his maidservant Bilhah to his daughter Rachel as her maidservant.
30 Jacob then consummated his marriage with Rachel also, and he loved her more than Leah. Thus he served Laban another seven years.
31 When the Lord saw that Leah was unloved, he made her fruitful, while Rachel was barren.
32 Leah conceived and bore a son, and she named him Reuben; for she said, “It means, ‘The Lord saw my misery; surely now my husband will love me.’”
33 She conceived again and bore a son, and said, “It means, ‘The Lord heard that I was unloved,’ and therefore he has given me this one also”; so she named him Simeon.
